The Pillars of Creation in the Eagle Nebula (M16) remain one of the iconic images of the Hubble Space Telescope. Three pillars rise from a molecular cloud into an enormous HII region, powered by the massive young cluster NGC 6611. … Continue reading →

E. Winston et al. (2011) report that they used Montage in their recent paper “The Structure of the Star-forming Cluster RCW 38.” This was a multiwavelength investigation that used Spitzer, Chandra and 2MASS data that probed the spatial distribution of … Continue reading →

Rosenberg et al. (2011) recently reported on a study of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons(PAHS), which cause very strong emission line features in the mid-infrared (10 – 20 microns), in the Photo-Dissociation Region (PDR) of NGC 7023. As part of this study, … Continue reading →

Ginsburg, Bally and Williams (2011) used Montage in their study of molecular outflows in the star formation complex W5, using CO 3-2 data made with the HARP array on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (Hawaii). As part of their analysis, … Continue reading →

Barentsen et al (2011) have recently shown to use the images produced by the Isaac Newton Telescope Photometric H-Alpha Survey to identify new T Tauri stars and to estimate their accretion rates. Specifically, they studied a region of size 7 … Continue reading →
